Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National
Marine Sanctuary Terms of Designation
Terms of Designation for Wisconsin
Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary
Under the authority of the National Marine
Sanctuaries Act, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’ or
‘‘NMSA’’), 16 U.S.C. 1431 et seq., 962 square
miles of Lake Michigan off the coast of
Wisconsin’s coastal counties of Ozaukee,
Sheboygan, Manitowoc, and Kewaunee are
hereby designated as a National Marine
Sanctuary for the purpose of providing longterm protection and management of the
historical resources and recreational,
research, educational, and aesthetic qualities
of the area.
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES
Article I: Effect of Designation
The NMSA authorizes the issuance of such
regulations as are necessary and reasonable
to implement the designation, including
managing and protecting the historical
resources and recreational, research, and
educational qualities of Wisconsin
Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary
(the ‘‘Sanctuary’’). Section 1 of Article IV of
this Designation Document lists those
activities that may have to be regulated on
the effective date of designation, or at some
later date, in order to protect Sanctuary
resources and qualities. Listing an activity
does not necessarily mean that it will be
regulated; however, if an activity is not listed
it may not be regulated, except on an
emergency basis, unless Section 1 of Article
IV is amended by the same procedures by
which the original Sanctuary designation was
made.
Article II: Description of the Area
Wisconsin Shipwreck Coast National
Marine Sanctuary consists of an area of
approximately 726 square nautical miles (962
square miles) of Lake Michigan waters within
the State of Wisconsin and the submerged
lands thereunder, over, around, and under
the underwater cultural resources in Lake
Michigan. The eastern boundary of the
sanctuary begins approximately 9.3 miles
east of the Wisconsin shoreline in Lake
Michigan north of the border between
Manitowoc and Kewaunee County. From this
point the boundary continues in Lake
Michigan roughly to the SSW until it
intersects a point in Lake Michigan
approximately 16.3 miles east of a point
along the shoreline that is approximately
equidistant between the borders of Mequon,
WI and Port Washington, WI. The southern
boundary continues west until it intersects
the shoreline at the Low Water Datum at this
point between Mequon, WI and Port
Washington, WI. The western boundary
continues north following the shoreline at
the Low Water Datum for approximately 82
miles cutting across the mouths of rivers,
creeks, and streams and excluding federally
authorized shipping channels; specifically
those of Sauk Creek at Port Washington,
Sheboygan River at Sheboygan, Manitowoc
Harbor as Manitowoc, and East Twin River
at Two Rivers. The western boundary ends
just north of the border between Manitowoc
and Kewaunee County along the shoreline
near Carlton, WI. The northern boundary
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 253001
continues from the shoreline at the Low
Water Datum at this point east across Lake
Michigan just north of the border between
these same two counties back to its point of
origin approximately 9.3 miles offshore.
Article III: Special Characteristics of the
Area
The area includes a nationally significant
collection of maritime heritage resources,
including 36 known shipwrecks, about 59
suspected shipwrecks, and other underwater
cultural sites. The historic shipwrecks are
representative of the vessels that sailed and
steamed on Lake Michigan during the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries, carrying
grain and raw materials east and carrying
coal, manufactured goods, and people west.
During this period entrepreneurs and
shipbuilders on the Great Lakes launched
tens of thousands of ships of many different
designs. Sailing schooners, grand palace
steamers, revolutionary propeller-driven
passenger ships, and industrial bulk carriers
transported America’s business and industry.
In the process they brought hundreds of
thousands of people to the Midwest and
made possible the dramatic growth of the
region’s farms, cities, and industries. The
Midwest, and indeed the American nation,
could not have developed with such speed
and with such vast economic and social
consequences without the Great Lakes.
Twenty-one of the 36 shipwreck sites in the
sanctuary are listed on the National Register
of Historic Places. Many of the shipwrecks
retain an unusual degree of architectural
integrity, with several vessels nearly intact.
Well preserved by Lake Michigan’s cold,
fresh water, the shipwrecks and related
maritime heritage sites in Wisconsin
Shipwreck Coast National Marine Sanctuary
possess exceptional historical, archaeological
and recreational value. Additional
underwater cultural resources, such as
submerged aircraft, docks, piers, and isolated
artifacts also exist, as do the potential for
prehistoric sites and artifacts.
Article IV: Scope of Regulations
Section 1. Activities Subject to Regulation.
The following activities are subject to
regulation, including prohibition, to the
extent necessary and reasonable to ensure the
protection and management of the historical
resources and recreational, research and
educational qualities of the area:
a. Injuring sanctuary resources.
b. Grappling into or anchoring on a
shipwreck sites.
c. Interfering with, obstructing, delaying or
preventing an investigation, search, seizure
or disposition of seized property in
connection with enforcement of the Act or
any regulation issued under the Act.
Section 2. Emergencies. Where necessary
to prevent or minimize the destruction of,
loss of, or injury to a Sanctuary resource or
quality; or minimize the imminent risk of
such destruction, loss, or injury, any activity,
including those not listed in Section 1, is
subject to immediate temporary regulation.
An emergency regulation shall not take effect
without the approval of the Governor of
Wisconsin or her/his designee or designated
agency.

Article V: Relation to Other Regulatory
Programs
Fishing Regulations, Licenses, and Permits.
Fishing in the Sanctuary shall not be
regulated as part of the Sanctuary
management regime authorized by the Act.
However, fishing in the Sanctuary may be
regulated by other Federal, State, Tribal and
local authorities of competent jurisdiction,
and designation of the Sanctuary shall have
no effect on any regulation, permit, or license
issued thereunder.
Article VI. Alteration of This Designation
The terms of designation may be modified
only by the same procedures by which the
original designation is made, including
public meetings, consultation according to
the NMSA.

a test to determine the ignition
resistance of a mattress or mattress pad
when exposed to a lighted cigarette.
Lighted cigarettes are placed at specified
locations on the mattress or mattress
pad. The Standard establishes pass/fail
criteria for the tests. The Standard
currently specifies the ignition source
for these tests as Standard Reference
Material cigarette SRM 1196, available
for purchase from the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST).

(Standard), 16 CFR part 1632, issued

The original specification for the
Standard’s ignition source included
physical characteristics of a
conventional, commercially available,
non-filtered, king-sized cigarette.
Although no specific brand was
identified in the standard, a Pall Mall
Red cigarette, manufactured by R.J.
Reynolds Tobacco Company (RJR), was
commonly known to meet the
specifications. In early 2008, RJR
notified CPSC that the company
intended to convert its production of
Pall Mall Red cigarettes to be Fire
Standard Compliant (FSC).
In 2008, CPSC sought to find an
alternate ignition source and contracted
with NIST to develop an ignition source
with an ignition strength equivalent to
the Pall Mall Red cigarette. The ignition
strength value is on a scale from 0 to
100 and is analogous to the percentage
of full-length burns on a laboratory
substrate. Lower values indicate a
cigarette is more likely to self-extinguish
when not actively being smoked, while
higher values indicate a cigarette is
more likely to remain lit while
unattended. The non-FSC Pall Mall Red
ignition strength varied by vintage from
a low of 35 to a high of 95, most often
falling at the higher end of the range.
FSC cigarettes are required to have an
ignition strength lower than 25, and in
practice, they are often much weaker, to
ensure uniform compliance.
In 2010, NIST developed SRM 1196,
Standard Cigarette for Ignition
Resistance Testing. SRM 1196 was
available for purchase starting in
September 2010. On November 1, 2010,
CPSC proposed the use of SRM 1196 as
the standard ignition source. 75 FR
67047. On September 23, 2011, CPSC
issued a final rule amending the
Standard to specify SRM 1196 as the
standard ignition source, which became
effective on September 23, 2012. 76 FR
59014.
